OWASP releases new Top 10 security risks for AI agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The OWASP Gen AI Security Project has released the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, a new security risk framework specifically designed for AI agents that perform multi-step actions. This list, developed with over 100 industry researchers, addresses the limitations of the previous OWASP LLM Top 10, which was built for single model calls. The new framework, numbered ASI01-ASI10, distinguishes between risks like goal hijacking, tool misuse, and unsafe code execution, which are critical in agentic systems where trust boundaries are crossed at multiple points. AI

IMPACT This framework will help developers better secure complex AI agent systems by highlighting specific risks beyond single-model interactions.
